Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling more than 1,000 model year 2020-2021 Daybreak, Four Winds, Chateau, Freedom Elite, and Quantum motorhomes built on a Chevrolet chassis. The BIM (Battery Isolation Manager)/BIR (Battery Isolation Relay) is not watertight when exposed to engine compartment heat.
Water may get into the BIM/BIR and create electrical arcing, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the BIM/BIR with a Trombetta solenoid, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 17, 2021. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC’s number for this recall is RC000206.
